Let's build the Enterprise! Star Trek fan unveils bold plan to make Captain Kirk's space ship within 20 years | |

Somebody must be breaking into Scotty's stash of exotic whiskey. So this fellow figured out how to make warp engines? Is his name Zephram Cochrane? | |

Nah, remember the episode where Kirk transported into a replica and they tricked him into giving up his DNA? | |

Poor old Dan...think he should make sure his server is up to speed 1st....:) | |

Flipping heck how many years did it take to build the ISS, and we had shuttles then! You could probably build on on the ground, but never get it into space, even if we had a space dock we ain't got the warp engines .... | |

Besides warp engines, there are other big problems. One is gravity plating. Another is replicators. There are no force fields. No phasers. No sensors. | |

I know alot is missing and possibly not possible for a long while but lets get the shell together and get those girls in and on post tight Confedearation Milatery uniforms...so say we all | |

I know I would rather see the Enterprise built than another Titannic lol | |

but it would all still be Made in China. | |

Actually warp engines don't require power they require attention geometry details... | |

With Rodin Coil style geometric winding patterns we are closer than we think... Stable controlled spinning magnetic fields... What a concept... | |

And the name on the piece of paper claiming I was alive at some point is Paul Garry McKirdy Jr., but then that was too just another piece of paper... | |

Okaaaaay ...... um | |

No life support either, bottled air only lasts so long and subs can surface to get fresh air, in space there is no air. Plus the closest to impulse engines are ion engines and their pretty new, no idea how many would be needed, plus Ya need a way to break orbit. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

Perpetual motion, oh now I can see how it all works. He should have mentioned that right off, so I could have better used my time by going to the bathroom or whatever. | |

All they need is water for the creating of O2 and H2 which will fuel hydrogen burning power plants much like the space shuttle and ISS. They suggest a fairly robust Ion Drive that I consider the same as the Enterprise's Impulse drive. The planned mission would only take 3 months to arrive at Mars with this drive as opposed to 9 months with gravity assist alone. We shuttle food and supplies to the space station routinely. How much more difficult would it be to launch supplies in advance of the ships launch and have it catch up to the supplies enroute much like a pacman game ____________ Proud member of TSWB.

Yeah, it's possible, but then there is the very real danger of cosmic rays, gamma rays, radiation and x-rays, good enough to kill one before one would/could even arrive at Mars or back to Earth, Shielding is needed, Here We have a few miles of atmosphere and one heck of a magnetic field, So It would need a Nuclear power plant to power a strong enough field, one that would act like the one on Earth does and not like an electro magnet does and I'm not sure how to do that. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page | |

Like i proposed before have a ozone layer in the shell of the ship. This would simulate the earths upper atmoshpere and catch most of the radiation. | |
